| Title: |
Not what youd have expected.... |
| Description: |
back in the 70s. Where once the MKT and Rock Island crossed, now its UP and short line Arkansas & Oklahoma, the successor on the segment of the Choctaw Route from Howe to McAlester, with an operation in OKC as well. At least the AOK unit looks almost authentic. |

UP and the Rock |
| Description: |
A northbound on the ex MKT, a UP line since 1988, rolls past power sitting just west of the diamond on the ex Rock Choctaw Route. Go back 40 years, and it could be F units on both sides. |
